I am OP...?
My point was that if IQ was normally distributed, the chances of a black person being the most qualified out of 1,250 candidates for 1 spot as an astronaut is so low that there should never have been any black astronauts. Of course, I just realized today that IQ is actually not normally distributed/does not form an actual bell curve. More like a fucked up bell curve, even if there were infinite people plotted on it.

The point is when discussing the IQ gap between races, it's important to talk about it as "group averages", because individual outliers always exist. Otherwise you'll be met with typical responses like, "There are black people who are smarter than you!" or whatever.
